Ss often believe that learning is all about speed and getting the answer first. This often diminishes the thinking process and can cause anxiety in the classroom. This strategy can help Ss understand the importance of taking time to think through their ideas before they share.

The festival of lights is primarily celebrated by those of Hindu, Sikh and Jain faith, but is acknowledged across many South Asian countries. Celebrants may light candles in their homes and gather with their loved ones to rejoice in the triumph of good over evil. Happy Diwali!

Brought home a little momento of my time at Eastwood Public School today at the closing. Painted this for the Learning Commons and apparently it stayed around years after me. #goodmemories #bestyears @EastwoodEagles

It’s important that our ELL/MLL feel included in every corner of our buildings at school. Not just with the ELL/MLL teacher. Identity matters. How can you create a more equitable environment where students feel seen? #ELevateSTL22 @ValentinaESL

As my #kinder #MLLs have become more verbal, I started hearing "I don't know" A LOT. We talked about how that stops their learning & created this chart together with other options to say. Help Ss #advocate for themselves in the classroom!

March Newsletter👍thanks to @ValentinaESL! "Quiet classrooms are dangerous for ELLs and most other students as well. Talk is🔑 to learning. If the🎯is to⏫the level of language, how can we do that in a quiet classroom?" When we talk, we process, we negotiate, we internalize.
